The 8AAA Profile
In this article:
<p>Alexandria is the favorite and a few teams ahead of the rest of the group. That said, this is a really tough group so section play should be a war. </p>

<p><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></p>
<p>Alexandria is a top ten team in Class AAA basketball entering the season as we see a group that might be perfect for a run. They have one of the better point guards in the state in Minnesota football commit Kris Hoskins flanked by workers (Myles Sansted), scorers ([player_tooltip player_id="850732" first="Erik" last="Hedstrom"]), size ([player_tooltip player_id="1284138" first="Grayson" last="Grove"]), and a lot more. To me they are head and shoulders above the group BUT I think every team in this section will be a tough fight each night. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="850720" first="Donald" last="Ferguson"] of St. Cloud Tech will be the best shooter/scorer in the section as the Tech Tigers have gone through a change and have a chance to be really good. Apollo graduated a lot but [player_tooltip player_id="958643" first="Thomas" last="Diew"] will be the best post in the section. Sauk Rapids-Rice was a contender last year and returns a lot of last year’s rotation. All around this will be a tough section. </p>
